Member Hummel offered motion to adopt the following: "MEREAS, various
construction companies and those engaged in the employment of labor, for the
i
public and private enterprises in the City of Paducah, Kentucky, have established a
scale of wages, carrying a wage of 25¢ per hour for common labor, and it has been
commonly reported that such sago scale was established as a result of advise and
request from representatives of local business people; N017,
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE GENERAL COUNCIL OF THL CITY OF PADUCAII, KENTUCKY:
I
SECTION 1. That we deplore the fact that those engaged in public and
private construction work in this City have seen fit to establish and }bay a wage
of only 25y per hour for common labor in such work; and,
We further deplore the fact that there has been circulated a report which
undertakes to justify such wage by claiming that local contractors and representa-
tives of our business neople have advised and requested the same.
If such report is true, we feel that the sentiment and wishes of local
business interest have been misrepresented, and such action, deserves public con-
demnation, for the reason that under present conditions of living such a wage is nbt
sufficient to provide a livelihood to laborers engaged in such work, and further-
more the contract price for construction work has not been based upon such a wage
scale.
Therefore we earnestly urge those who are responsible for the establish-
ment of Such wage in this City to undertake to remedy the matter promptly, for the
Interest Of all concerned." Adopted on the call of the roll: Yeas (11).
